Greetings,
I am beginner level and I am using the guides to orientation.
The plataform that I am using is ThingWorx Analytics and this guide: https://developer.thingworx.com/en/resources/guides/analytics-builder-quickstart/data-upload
But, in this guide the databases is ready to download and I want to create a database from my PLC's tags (I am using ThingWorx Industrial Conecntivity to maps the PLC's tags) to use in Analytics Builder.
How do I do this?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
The creation of a CSV for batch loading is one way to do it, and probably the simplest method to get you going on the product.
You do have the option of creating a service in ThingWorx Platform to programmatically upload a file as well, which will require custom coding on your end to call the Analytics Data Service.
The great thing in 8.4.x, is that there is no metadata file requirement anymore as we can infer the data types and present them to you for review before upload.
Please let me know if that answers your question.
Regards,
Neel
Hello Fabriziogra,
Thank you for your post to the PTC Community.
I appologize, I am not sure if I follow your question.
Are you asking about creating a separate Database from the ThingWorx Analytics (TWA) storage?
ThingWorx Analytics stores uploaded data in an Apache Parquet File System format, so a separate Database is not required. All that is required is a CSV file with headers (as of 8.4, easiest method) and you can load a dataset to ThingWorx Analytics.
If you are asking about how to stream data to ThingWorx Analytics, you can create a service in ThingWorx Platform Server, and use the Analytics services to load data programmatically.
